let's see if i can remember anything?

• his dark materials by philip pullman (BOOK) - i decided to reread the golden compass recently and it holds up. i'm on the subtle knife now. fantasy theoretically for YA but it's so good for adults too. multiple worlds, conspiracies, atheist themes. i love it.


• queer eye (NETFLIX) - to cry and feel supported and loved and happy.

that's ... it. i'm just reclaiming my life and my love of reading fiction and not feeling guilty, and cleaning a whole lot. after HDM i'm going to revisit the series of witcher novels by Andrzej Sapkowski (BOOK). mostly i guess rn it's reading fiction that i love and want to re-remember.

i recently got an ereader and i love it so much i can't wait to read everything forever. :>

& re: cleaning, i've been listening to podcasts but nothing i think that would be super shareable? BBC world news, my video game ones. i caught the debaters (PODCAST) on the radio the other day and forgot how hilarious it was, so i've subbed to their podcast feed and deffo recommend it. comedy debates. stuff. words are hard.

I think I'm the only person that didn't like those books? And I always feel like I should try rereading them as an adult since everyone loves them so much?

Re: media corner

[lilwitchhazel]

I guess it depends on why you didn't like them?? and if you have a pile of books to read hahaha

Iiii don't remember. I actually can't remember anything at all about the series except for there being like animal companion things? I don't remember any of the characters or plot. I just know everyone in my friend group at high school read them all around the same time, and one of my best friends was like "CHERYL, YOU HAVE TO READ THESE BOOKS. YOU WILL LOVE THEM. EVERYONE LOVES THEM" and he loaned me all three. And I read the first one, and started the second one, and just could not make it more than a couple of chapters into the second one. So idk if it was just a victim of overhype that made me not like them?

Omg overhype is soooo painful and has ruined things for me for sure!!! Might be worth a try then c: I'm obviously biased, buuuut

i LOVE his dark materials (i think its actually my favorite book series of all time)!! i actually have a tattoo of a hare & hot air balloon to represent lee and hester. c: did you see that they released casting for the bbc series??? ...i'm due for a reread honestly.

ALSO i definitely had some emotions over queer eye a few weeks ago.
also also also ereaders are life-changing!! i got my first one.... last year i think? after dragging my feet forever. i still love having physical books around (obv) but it's so liberating to just like... check books out online. and carry a million of them at once. magic. :u
